Was in town for a conference and overheard someone say this place has the best wings! I stopped by for dinner to try them out and check out what one of the more popular Muncie bars has to offer. The special when I walked in was a pizza burger! That right there told me they don't mind being different in the style of food they serve! After checking over the menu full of wraps and burgers amongst a plethora of other bar food I ended up getting some wings to try and the house made chips. I got half my wings in the BBQ flavor and the other Buffalo. Being honest the wings weren't anything special but they did hit the spot and the BBQ sauce wasn't anything special to me on the wings but if it was used in some pulled pork or ribs I believe I would enjoy it more. The buffalo sauce was really good and had just enough heat to need the ranch here and there. The house made chips were good, not overly seasoned and not over cooked either. The place is small but has a handful of high top round tables and a few bigger square tables in the front with a decent bar strip with plenty of bottles and beers on tap. The pool table in the side room looked like a great area to hang around and play some pool while enjoying some beers with the company of friends. Next time I'm in town I will try one of their countless burger options! read more

Savage's Ale House - BBQ and Buffalo Wings with House Chips - New American Near Me - Muncie, Indiana

From STL, here to watch a game. Yelp said the Reuben and fries were the was to go. Yumm. Did not disappoint read more

I've tried nearly every menu item here, and I can easily say it's my favorite restaurant in Muncie. The Shroom and the Pita with hummus are my go-to's. The service is always great even if they're slammed. 10/10 love this place read more

Savages is a favorite of ours. They have an awesome beer selection and their food hits the spot. If you like fried foods, their app trio is wonderful. Or favs are the mushrooms, mozzarella, and jalapeño poppers. The sauces are fantastic. A nice marinara, ranch (which I assume is handmade, and a sweet chili. I usually get their Reuben. It's so good and the corned beef is lean. No bouncy pieces. But this time I tried their veggie melt. Very nice. Imagine a Reuben but instead of meat, they use spinach, mushrooms, and bell peppers. So good. You'd better believe that there were some crazy cheese pulls. Please go. You won't regret it. read more

I don't know exactly what counts as a dive bar, but Savage's might fit that bill. Unassuming, popular with locals, and extremely affordable. They have lots of rotating draft options and a variety of delicious pub food. Somehow it's very cheap for 2024 restaurant prices. I got the loaded fries and I also tried the jalapeno poppers my partner ordered. Both were delicious. The bacon bleu cheese burger really hit the spot. There was a bit of a wait to grab a table but it moved quickly. Service was great. There is a lot of great...literature in the bathroom, be sure to check it out! read more

Great food and great place to eat. Very affordable. Only drawback is that it's hard to find a parking spot.

Stopped in for a very QUICK bite to eat with co-workers. The food had great flavor & came very quickly. The service was great in accommodating that we didn't have long to sit and eat. I'll def return when i have more time. read more

Was passing by Savage's Ale House in Muncie and had to go out of my way for it. Been craving their mozzarella grilled cheese for a while and thought, "Why not? Who knows when I'll be in the area again?" Had to get some of that college nostalgia, and it was just as good as I remembered--if not better. Seriously, if you're nearby, go. You won't regret it. read more

One of the best bars in downtown. It's a great spot to grab some beers but also the food is really great. All the waitresses are super nice as well. Always have some great drafts that rotate pretty often read more

I stopped by for lunch today and it was a great choice. Service was super friendly I ordered the grilled cheese sandwich, which contained several breaded mozzarella sticks and came with a side of marinara. It was unique and delicious. The side salad I ordered was much more than I had expected for $4.50, it was better than the salad I had at a steakhouse last night. Servings are generous and prices are incredibly cheap. I was in the middle of my workday so I didn't have any beer but there was an impressive selection. Definitely would return here, highly recommend. read more

Do not eat here!!! Went the other night and got food poisoning from an undercooked burger. Tried to complain and atleast see some accountability, was met with rudeness. 10/10 do not recommend. read more

Rude staff. Lousy bartenders. Plan on waiting for at least 15 minutes before you're acknowledged at the bar. Stopped going to Savage's several years ago. Food is extra greasy. read more

An absolute waste of time. Should be clearly advertised as a 21+ establishment include their online profile. I had a 2 month old infant and was turned away before even stepping foot inside. The waiter was very off putting and made me feel extremely uncomfortable about the entire situation. It is advertised as a casual dining experience and mentions nothing about not being about to eat with my child who clearly is not going to be a disturbance considering he can neither walk, talk, or consume anything other than milk. Would highly recommend the restaurant be clear about what kind of clientele they want. So again I repeat if you have anyone under the age of 21 including infants DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME! -Sincerely a new mom who just wanted a good burger read more

My colleagues and I had a group dinner (15 people total) at Savage' The food was okay, nothing spectacular. Ale House during a work trip. Overall, the experience was OK. I could quickly tell that the waitress was overwhelmed with the size of our party. We constantly had to remind her of missing items. We had to get a quarterwas okay, nothing spectacular. Savage's can provide more training on handling large groups, especially for new staff. They could also provide two servers for large groups instead of one waitress. read more

This is a great Muncie bar/restaurant. I discovered it about a year ago. Nice drinks on tap. Get a "Chuck Berry"...yummmmm! I always say "this time I'm gonna get something different"? Then when it's time to order, I always order the jalapeño burger. It is freaking awesome. Don't forget the fries they are amazing! It's a girls night out place for us. We love the pool table. Come join us. read more

Since its opening, Savage's has always been a great place to go in Muncie for a good burger and a drink. I've had nothing but great experiences here and to this day still recommend this place to anybody I know stopping by the area. read more

A really good place to eat. I really enjoyed the service. The servers did an outstanding job. I highly recommend this place to eat. Your whole family would enjoy this place. read more

What a gem in downtown Muncie. The burgers are awesome. The sides are awesome. The prices are out of this world. We stopped in on a Sunday when they first opened at 3. I ordered a PBR and the server replied, we have $3 PBR pitchers today. Would you like a pitcher? Yes please! read more

Savage's Ale House - Philly Cheesesteak with chips - New American Near Me - Muncie, Indiana

My daughter attended Ball State University so when I found myself in Muncie for the day I asked her for a lunch recommendation. She immediately responded with Savages ale house and told me to get the mozzarella stick grilled cheese sandwich. It did not disappoint. What a unique spin on grilled cheese, not the healthiest by any means, but it was good. Served with a dish of marinara sauce my only suggestion is that the sauce should be warm and not cold as it was. Had the fried mushrooms as a side, the breading was good and the mushrooms were hot and juicy. Didn't catch our servers name but she was a Ball State student and very enthusiastic and friendly. read more

Savage's Ale House - Grilled cheese sandwich made with mozzarella sticks and served with marinara sauce. Fried mushrooms on the side. - New American Near Me - Muncie, Indiana

Still loving this place and realizing it is a hidden gem! Took a work friend with me and she had never been, loved it and will be coming back. She got the appetizer sampler. It came out hot, delicious, and huge! She took home enough for probably two more meals. I got a salad and enjoyed one of their many delicious draft ciders. Again had great service and a very satisfying experience at an affordable cost. read more

Gooooooodnessss. I was torn between the grilled cheese and the tenderloin sandwich so I tried both! The grilled cheese is just as good as it sounds. I didn't want to put it down! Glad I did though because the tenderloin sandwich was sooo good. I added lettuce and mayo to it and it was divine. The crunch of the breading with the juiciness off the pork was the perfect combo. I highly recommend! read more

Went there tonite as first timers sat at bar fodder was great we each ordered different burgers and split an order of fries. Drinks were super reasonably priced. Would have gotten 5 stars but since it appeared to us being older girl bartender was not really into the older generation. That said highly recommend read more

Food and beer is great. Service is great. Chill atmosphere. Love to meet people for the first time here.

We got to Savages just before the courthouse lunch bunch came rushing in. We got our order in and waited well over 45 minutes, and I finally asked about our meals and were told 10 more minutes, and she was right We enjoyed great seasoned French fries, BBQ wings, and a chicken club all tasty and well cooked. The chicken skin was tough on the wings, and the chicken breast could use some seasonings. All in all, a good lunch if you are not in a hurry, which we were not. read more

This is a quintessential College style dive bar. Don't let that discourage you, it is a feature and not a bad thing. The vibe is chill. The beer selection is amazing! The food we had was solid pub grub all at good prices. It went perfect with some Three Floyd's Zombie Dust on the cheap. read more

We only get to come here when we're in the area which is rare but when we do it's the "usual". Buffalo chicken wrap for me and the Shedd town for him with crinkle fries to share. Gotta wash it down with some tap beers or $1.50 PBR if that's your thing. The establishment has considerably outgrown the crowd it draws so you don't want to do during peak dining times but it's definitely worth the wait! It's a local "dive" but worth a try if you haven't been yet! read more

Great sandwiches Great sandwiches. The Reuben is a very fresh and large sandwich and the shedtown chicken is a very hot and spicy sandwich, which was delicious in my book, their jalapeño poppers were good but the dipping sauce they serve has a bit of a mint taste to it. I was not overly impressed with it. The breaded mushrooms are very large and juicy. The atmosphere is somewhat of a hodgepodge, but overall historical building clientele is very diverse highly recommended for a good lunch.! read more

If you can get to this place, it is worth it! First, at the time of my visit, the Yelp map showed the location as being on the northwest corner of Washington and High Streets, but I've put in a request to Yelp to fix it because it actually sits on the southwest corner across from the courthouse statues. It is also challenging if you aren't familiar with all the one way streets in Muncie. Washington is one way eastbound. High Street is one way south bound, so you feel a sense of accomplishment just finding your way to one of the free street parking spaces along the front of the restaurant/bar on High St. Even during the pandemic, the place had a large lunch crowd. I didn't see any outdoor seating, but when we entered, one of the staff mentioned to choose our own location. There are several sections in the building, so instead of seating in the bar area, we grabbed a table in the sunnier section near the entrance. Tables were decently spaced but maybe not exactly 6 feet apart once people were seated. But since the section wasn't full, we felt no sense of being uncomfortable. Our waitress was prompt on checking our beverage orders and brought them out in a timely way. We did wait a little for her to take our food orders, but the longest wait was for the food to come out of the kitchen. It took close to 40 minutes from the time we entered until we got our food. Seemed a little bit long. Each of us got something different. I really enjoyed my Grilled Chicken Spinach Wrap that was lightly dressed, not drowning in dressing. Just the right size for lunch. The chicken was cooked just right and the spinach hadn't wilted trapped inside the wrap with the chicken. So, it tasted fresh. My wife ordered the special which was 2 Chicago Dogs for $8. Okay from her, but she's had some outstanding Chicago Dogs from a place near our home town (BTB offers Windy City Dogs for $8 each that are deep fried!) So, these were okay, but nothing she raved about. She upgraded from chips to sweet potato fries with a cinnamon dip that she enjoyed. One of our friends ordered the Shroom Burger and a side of fried pickles. Good review from him. And our remaining member of our party ordered a chicken sandwich (without the bun) and ordered the side of veggies with a red pepper humus for dipping. She gave good marks for her meal too. So, everyone enjoyed what they got. Good food, but a bit of a wait. That was fine with us since our group enjoys leisurely meals together since we are retired. It is a chance for us to chat and enjoy a break from sitting alone our individual homes. Good food, friendly service, just a little hard to locate if you aren't familiar with the street flow. And don't be in a rush. Review #3780 read more

Hit and miss. After many visits (husband and I became fans), finally had a crappy visit. His burger was way overdone (tough he said) but he wouldn't complain and the tenderloin we brought home for the teenager was barely eaten before being put in the trash. Guess it depends on who's cooking and you can get lucky or very unlucky. We stopped our weekly visits because of this last disappointment. Have said no thanks last few times husband has suggested going. read more

Savage's Ale House - Uneaten tenderloin that was described as "no good" and "gross" - New American Near Me - Muncie, Indiana

Stumbled upon this place in downtown Muncie. Really quite a gem. Lots of PBR in tap and plenty of local pours as well. We sampled the cauliflower wings. They have a decent spice and are good but not what I was expecting. I had the grilled cheese sandwich. Lots of cheese on this one. Made with cheese sticks between two buttery pieces of bread, the sandwich comes with a side of cold marinara for dipping. I couldn't finish it. Lots of sandwich there. Also had some house made chips. Service was very engaging and knowledgeable. Good stuff. read more

Speedy and friendly service, tasty bar food. No ambiance to speak of and the chairs are uncomfortable and very beat up.

Staff is fantastic, food is bar food. Music is loud. Lovely place to relax and have a few pints

I love Savage's! This bar is located in downtown Muncie. The food is great. They have mozzarella stuffed grilled cheese. If that can't get you into the restaurant nothing can. They have a great variety of local brews. If you don't know a beer they also give you helpful information and a sample.The atmosphere in savage's is great for college students and muncie locals.

We got to Savage's late after a day of helping with a move to Muncie. Wow! What a great find! I got a tall, cold Miller Light (in spite of sitting looking at the giant map of craft beers) and burger with fries. Excellent late night food. Excellent dive kind of place with pool tables and tall tables and nice little spaces for your group. As usual, Indiana and Muncie has the best, most cordial servers. I have to say that this great place is worn in the best way. Also, it is one of the cleanest places I have ever eaten in. Really! Who would expect that level of clean and not sticky after 10pm! I can't wait to come back. read more
